YEAH, the Baltimore Orioles are back!!!! Reminds me of home in Annapolis, Maryland. Love to hear these sweet birds sing. This poor fellow is drench from the rainy day we had.
Also the humming birds are back too. You can see a drop of rain on the wing of this one. Now to get a picture of a male.

School Award night. This was a bitter sweet time for me, as I have taught at New Hampton Christian School for 2 1/2 years. I left in December of this for head surgery & I'm not going back to teach. I will still take school pictures & put together the yearbook & digital yearbook, but God is leading to some other places to serve Him in. So tonight was a night of saying "I'll see ya later" instead of good bye. God blessed me with two sons, but brought into my life "adoptive" daughters. These are my girls....
Asiah Bennet, she will always be part of our family. We have grown really close this year & I was blessed to lead her to the Lord this fall.
These are three sisters who I have taught the past 2 1/2 years. The oldest one Donna will never smile for a pictures or hardly ever, just works, works, works, & has a huge wall around her heart. Lexi in the middle & Asia to the right. All three a very smart & will go far.
Joshlyn, always has a smile & let you know exactly how she feels about everything good & bad. She was also in my elementary class.
Kendall, very sweet lovable girl, never taught her, but we had long talks when school became to much. She called me "Mom" & still does.
The moon was soooo beautiful tonight I just had to get a picture.

Muffin Day! I made 2 1/2 dozen Apple Dapple Muffins for my hubby's breakfast this week. Of course both of the boys are home too, so they ate these for snack during the day. Recipe is at my good eating link
Boys went exploring on our farm. Found this 8 point buck skull in the timber & an arrow my son Josh (on right 18 yrs) lost when he was 15 yrs old hunting for a deer. The arrow head was damaged, but the rest of the arrow was still good to reuse.

I spent the afternoon, taking pictures of a family from church. They are a wonderful family with 4 children. They decided God wanted them to be foster parents who would adopt. The were given two little girls in December, who they were suppose to adopt in a year. Unfortunately things have change & the state has decided to move the girls into a different foster home with two of their siblings & all 4 will adopted together. So today I took pictures of the girls & family, so the girls could have a picture to remember their foster family by. This is Raven one of the girls. I'm still playing with the other pictures. Pray for Raven & her siblings because they need Jesus in their life.
Well, that is the end of my week. Hope all of you have a wonderful week. Can't wait to see your pics
so neat to see how you have touched so many lives at your school!!! What a blessing
ReplyDeleteLittle Raven is so sweet....I don't understand why life has to be difficult for her. Trusting with you that God has a plan!
ReplyDeleteLoved being part of your school life. As a teacher I love those pictures best...the Apple Dapple muffins look so yummy that I will be grabbing that recipe soon. Loved all your nature shots as always.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the kitty with her mouse, so cute.
ReplyDeleteThat little girl's picture is great, you did a good job. Praying that the girls' new home is loving and Jesus filled.
Thanks for the comments ladies. Just keep praying for Raven, her sister Emily & the other two siblings. None of them are saved & part of the family says it is not good for the 4 to be together & the part of the family says it is. I know they are in God's hands & seeds were planted in Raven's & Emily's heart when they lived with my friends. They saw Jesus love in that family
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Bucky grow! the pictures of you and all your girls are great!!
ReplyDeleteWhat bittersweet events all week. I hope Raven finds Jesus with her forever family.
ReplyDeleteHugs & love,
Mimi
